the measuring stick bank of montreal annual meeting j canadas increasing importance george and elsie live text door to each other they are n the same class at schcol and in the spelling test they eaen missed two words out of ten when george save his spelling pa per to his mother she exclaimed arent you ashamed of yourself 1 appose you let jim martin go to the head of the class again if you would study as jim dees mother wouldnt have to feel bad about your spelling paper j spellings easy for jim george protested ho- can remember any thing i brought mine home iast night and studied half an hour but 1 was afraid id miss and so 1 did georges mother thought she was using the best method to make her son study even since george had started to school she had tried to get him to du better this comparative idea was good but she had always used the wrong measuring stick she had held him up against another in stead of against himself the truth was that her own piide was hurt she didnt want jim to succeed above her own son the inference to he drawn then by george or anyone e is that if jim had missed two words outi of ten then georges misspelled words would not have mattered but what did elsies mother do about the spelling record since both mothers afterwards told the teacher all that was said about it another method of dealing with unsatisfactory school work is available when do you have the next spel ling test elsies mother asked and when told that it was in two weeks she said well well just forget this paper and think about the fine one youll have next time what can you do that you didnt do this week so as to win in a contest with your best record ill review my words for five mill utes every day volunteered elsie this time i let my reviewing go un- til the last day there was not a word from elsies j mother about what anyone else in the class had done her little laughter was encouraged to do her own best not the best of some other pup elsie was held responsible she was made her own disciplinarian she was not crushed by the recollection of her own lapse in spelling and by the vie- tory of a classmate rather was she inspired to press forward towards heri own shining

grain and other commodity prices vi a boo and jackson dodds the general managers draw attention to maintenance fay bank of traditionally strong liquid position traffic the diminished earnings of the annual general meeting of the bank of montreal was marked by a distinct feeling of confidence in the general outlook iu canada sir diaries gordon the presi dent in reviewing the principal de velopments of the year said iu part i am sure it will be very gratify ing to the shareholders to learn that we have not suffered any josses from depreciation in the securities which the bans holds as part of its assets prom this you will un derstand that great care has beim exercised ia our investments the year under review has been a most difficult one not only for banks but for practically all classes of business and this has been re flected in our profits but neverthe less ample provision has been made for all losses and prospective iosses examination of the figures of the foreign trade of canada shows bow large a part the teal of wheat plays no other single commodity approaches this cereal in volume and value as a consequence when crop failure occurs or prices fall below the line of profitable produc tion the whole business of the coun try is adversely affected that has happened the wheat crop of 1929 was short ia quantity the crop of 1930 faced low prices and a glutted market and the foreign trade re turns disclose the results of theso unfavorable factors to short crops and congmdod markets can be trac ed much of the reaction in general business the decline in railway carriers by land and water unem ployment of labor and above all diminished purchasing power of the agricultural class in summing up bis conclusions sir charles stated that in this virile country of canada with its abounding resources there can be no permanent depression my own view is that when the tern comes canada will bo found leading the procession in the return to pros perity general managers address the address of w a bog and jackson llodds the general man agers dealt more particularly with the report of the bank for the past fiscal year the report said in part in times like thi

all losses and doubtful debts you will note that the tradition ally strong liquid position of your bank has been maintained this was accomplished without curtail ing the credit requirement of our

artist well w the idea friend its not painted hnlr as bad as its inhale minstrels liniment for asthma our last article told you something about cancer today i propose to tell you how this disease can be fought if every individual in canada could receive and follow the simple- advice which is contained in this article the number of cancer deaths ttould be re duced by many thousands in the first place let us frankly admit that doctors have not yet learned how to prevent cancer ii- the way they have learned how to prevent smallpox and typhoid and diphtheria that how ever should not be too discouraging for they havo learned how to treat early cases of cancer and how to treat conditions that look like cancer so that tho former are cured and the can cerous condition prevented there fore the moral connected with this ar ticle is this watch for early symp toms of cancer and act at once upon the slightest suspicion of having found i any 1 first in external cancer there is al ways a warning to be seen with the eye or felt with the finger these first signs aro moles or warts little areas covered with a scab a little lump or nodule beneath the slun or deeper an unhealed wound as a rule these things do not hurt but that does not make it less dangerous only a physician can stato whether a wart or little lump is cancerous in connection with cancer of the lip and tongue there is always first on he lower lip or tongue some abnormal de fect if this warning is heeded and treatment given within a month or two the probabilities of a cure are al most perfect in this connection rag ged teeth and unclean mouths are known to frequently produce cancer keep your mouth clean and go to the dentist frequently it has been said that beautiful wo men rarely have cancer of the skin because they keep their skins clean cancer of the uterus kills many wo men it would kill fewer if women would learn to visit their physicians immediately upon noticing any femin ine irregularities cancer of the breast is not terribly dangerous if it is treated early as soon as a littlo lump is noticed the physician should be made aware of it it this is done early enough the possibilities of a euro aro almost nine out of ten even should the lump prove to be a malig nant form of cancer in cancer of the breast every weeks delay reduces the chance of recovery after one receives an injury to a bone it should be xrayed if the swell ing and discomfort do not disappear in a few weeks it is most difficult to recognize tho signs of internal can cer hut persistent indigestion or a feeling of discomfort or a new feel ing inside should be viewed with sus picion and tho doctor consulted one of the bert ways of protecting your self against cancer and the fear of cancer is to visit tho family physician

became wide ly known in europe through he troduction of the chinese reed organ at the rvi of the iighteenth century prof c g kratzenstein invented tho harmonium after examining a sheng t to his native city the first in strument of this type was the pans pipes of the ancient greeks whih consisted of a set of pipes of d length bound together and made to iourd by the players breath about two centuries bc a device was in vented for forcing air into the pipes by water power and keys were added to open and close the pipes the hy draulic organ was common among the greeks and ron-a- centuries later the bellows came into use instead of water power to furnish air an organ built in the tenth century for win chester cathedral in england had a bellows so powerful that 70 men were needed to pump it in the organs of today the power that pumps the bel- icws would be equal to 50 or jven 100 horsepower yet so improved is the mechanism of the keyboard that the uch of a finger is all that is re quired to open the pipevalves the greatest changes are due to the use i of electricity so much of the machin ery is now operated by electricity that the inside of the organ iooks like a telephone exchange the
